TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[SleepingHero]

But, I would've like that without Irving, too, so I'll be really upset if he ends up actually being available and we're confronted by the idea that Dallas valued Irving more than him.

I mean Kyrie was had for 1 FRP. We live in an age where Rudy Gobert went for 5 FRP. Siakam is most likely available for 3+ FRP. Anyway we slice it, there is no way the Mavs could've danced that tango. 

And Kyrie the player is better than Siakam the player. Even at this age. Hard not to blame them if we're seeing it from that POV.


Again, I'm in lockstep here with you on Kyrie. I felt like we were the two most vocal opponents of the deal. I still think it's ridiculous we made the move, but I don't think it was ever a realistic possibility we could've gotten Siakam even if we had DFS+SD+2029 FRP. 


Now, if this looney fantasy TDL continues where the Mavs traded for Kyrie AND find a way to swing for Siakam, I am on board with this team being final favorites.
